纲目
1贰 歌罗西二章六至七节启示，基督作为我们在其中一无所缺的美地，（申八9，）乃是丰富的土壤，我们已在其中生了根，好使我们从这土壤吸收元素而长大（弗三17下）：
1
2一 神是真正的农夫，保罗是神的一位同工；（林前三6～9，林后六1上；）保罗把信徒栽种到基督这土壤里。
2
3二 我们已被栽种到基督里，日复一日我们必须花时间吸取祂；我们必须花时间享受主这包罗一切的地，使基督这丰富土壤的一切元素，都能被吸收到我们里面，好叫我们在经历中，在祂里面得了丰满—西二10上，四2：
3
41 我们若要吸取那作土壤之基督的丰富，就需要细嫩、新长的根—王下十九30，赛三七31，耶十七7～8，参可四16～17，林后四16。
4
52 我们需要忘掉我们的环境、我们的光景、我们的失败以及我们的软弱，单单花时间吸取主；当我们花时间吸取祂，我们就以神在我们里面的增长而长大，为着建造基督的身体—路八13，太十四22～23，六6，西二7上，19。
5
6三 我们与主接触不该匆匆忙忙的；我们必须操练我们的灵，留在神的面光中来吸取祂；我们必须花更多时间吸取主—爱慕祂，赞美祂，向祂献上感谢，并且自由的对祂说话—诗二七4，出三三11，14，太六6，十四22～23，可一35，参弗四20～21。
6
7四 基督身体的长大非常主观的在于我们里面神的增长，神的增多；基督身体的长大就是神建造的长大；召会的真实建造，乃是借着信徒在生命里的长大—西二19，弗二20～22，四16。

8西二7 在祂里面已经生根，并正被建造……。
8Col.2:7 Having been rooted and being built up in Him…
919 ……持定元首；本于祂，全身借着节和筋，得了丰富的供应，并结合一起，就以神的增长而长大。
919 And not holding the Head, out from whom all the Body, being richly supplied and knit together by means of the joints and sinews, grows with the growth of God.
10长大和建造都在于生根。……〔基督〕既是美地，祂自己就是丰富、肥沃的土壤。我们在基督里面既已生根〔西二7〕，就必须天天把祂丰富的滋养吸收到我们里面，作为使我们长大的元素。〔我们作为〕幼嫩的根该终日吸取基督这土壤的丰富。我们越吸取这些丰富，就越被基督所浸透，并且生机地被祂所顶替。这就是长大，以及在基督里被建造。
10Both the growth and the building depend on being rooted…As the good land, Christ Himself is the rich, fertile soil. Having been rooted in Him [Col. 2:7], we must daily absorb the rich nourishment of Christ into us to be the element that causes us to grow. All day long, [as] tender roots [we] should absorb the riches of Christ as the soil. The more we absorb these riches, the more we will be saturated by Christ and organically replaced by Him. This is to grow and to be built up in Christ.
11保罗在林前三章九节说，圣徒乃是神的耕地。他在六节说，“我栽种了……。”……神是真正的农夫，保罗是神的一位同工（林后六1）。保罗与神同工，把信徒栽种到基督里。基督就是土壤。……许多人借着保罗所传的福音和话语的职事，被栽种到基督里（歌罗西书生命读经，五六六至五六七页）。
11Paul says that the saints are God’s cultivated land (1 Cor. 3:9). In verse 6 he says, “I planted…”…God is the real Farmer, and Paul was one of His coworkers (2 Cor. 6:1). Working together with God, Paul planted the believers into Christ. Christ is the soil…Through Paul’s preaching of the gospel and ministry of the word, many were planted into Christ. (Life-study of Colossians, second edition, pp. 447-448)

12神乃是借着进到我们里面，叫我们生长的。神越加到我们里面，就越使我们生长。……在我们里面若没有神的加多，就不会有长大。基督身体的长大在于我们里面神的增长，神的加添，神的增多。所以，神是以非常主观的方式把祂自己给了我们，而叫我们生长。
12[God] causes the growth by getting into us. The more God is added to us, the more growth He causes…Without the increase of God within us, there cannot be any growth. The growth of the Body depends on the growth of God, the addition of God, the increase of God, within us. Therefore, God causes the growth by giving Himself to us in a very subjective way.
13有一首著名的诗歌劝我们要“花时间成为圣别”。事实上，我们的需要乃是花时间吸取神。我们每天怎样花时间吃东西，我们也该照样花时间吸取主，花时间吸收基督的丰富。我们与主接触不该匆匆忙忙的。如果我们匆匆忙忙，就不能吸收多少祂的丰富。我们需要有充分的时间来祷告，这使我们能更多吸取神的丰富。
13A well-known hymn exhorts us to “take time to be holy.” Actually, our need is to take time to absorb God. As we daily take time to eat food, we should daily take time to absorb the Lord, take time to assimilate the riches of Christ. Our contact with the Lord should not be rushed. If we are in a hurry, we will not be able to absorb much of His riches. We need to allow adequate time for prayer. This will enable us to absorb more of the riches of our God.
14神不仅仅是一个名词，也不仅仅是敬拜的对象。祂乃是真实的、丰富的、实在的，我们需要吸取祂。今天我们的神乃是经过过程、包罗万有的灵，而我们有灵可以吸取祂。因此，我们必须操练我们的灵，留在神的面光中来吸取祂。这是需要花时间的。……不要浪费时间在心思、情感、意志里，乃要更多花时间在灵里爱慕主，赞美祂，向祂献上感谢，并且自由地对祂说话。你这样与祂交通，就吸取祂的丰富，祂也会更多把祂自己加到你里面。神越加到我们里面，就越使我们生长。
14God is not simply a term or an object of worship. He is real, rich, and substantial, and we need to absorb Him. Our God today is the processed, allinclusive Spirit, and we have a spirit with which to absorb Him. Thus, we must exercise our spirit to stay in His presence to absorb Him. This takes time…Do not spend so much time in your mind, emotion, and will, but spend more time in your spirit to adore the Lord, to praise Him, to offer thanks to Him, and to speak to Him freely. As you fellowship with Him in this way, you will absorb His riches, and He will add more of Himself into you. The more God is added into us, the more growth He gives to us.
15你若看见我们在基督这丰富的土壤里生根，就会得着安慰和鼓励。……要思想你在其中生根的丰富土壤。在这土壤里，你岂不是有丰满、割礼、埋葬、复活、生命的分赐、规条的涂抹和黑暗权势的脱下么？忘掉你的环境、你的光景、你的失败以及你的软弱，单单花时间享受主。……倘若你花时间吸取主，你就能见证，你在基督里一无所缺。
15If you see that we have been rooted in Christ as the rich soil, you will be comforted and encouraged…Consider the rich soil in which you are rooted. In this soil do you not have the fullness, the circumcision, the burial, the raising up, the giving of life, the wiping out of the ordinances, and the stripping off of the powers of darkness? Forget your situation, your condition, your failures, and your weaknesses and simply take time to enjoy the Lord…If you take time to absorb the Lord, you will be able to testify that in Christ you have no lack.
16我们每天早晨需要花足够的时间吸取主。……倘若你早晨花半小时吸取主、享受主，你在一天当中，就不会受到反面事物的搅扰。……让我们从思想、情感、意念中回转过来，将自己向主敞开，运用我们的灵说，“主耶稣，我爱你，我敬拜你，我尊崇你。主，我把自己献给你，我把心交给你，把今天每一件事都交给你。”你这样接触主的时候，切毋匆忙。要花时间，越多越好。你花时间接触主的时候，自然而然就把土壤里的丰富吸收到你里面（歌罗西书生命读经，五六七至五六八、五八二至五八三页）。
16Every morning we need to take an adequate amount of time to absorb the Lord…If you spend thirty minutes to absorb the Lord and to enjoy Him in the morning, you will not be bothered by negative things during the day…Let us turn from our thought, emotion, and intention and open ourselves to the Lord, exercising our spirit to say, “O Lord Jesus, I love You, I worship You, and I adore You. Lord, I give myself to You. I give You my heart and everything concerning this day.” As you contact the Lord in this way, do not be hurried. Take time, the more the better. As you spend time contacting the Lord, spontaneously, you will absorb into you the riches of the soil. (Life-study of Colossians, second edition, pp. 448-449, 459-460)

今日要点
18主题：生根在作美地的基督里面，天天吸取祂，以神的增长而长大
18
19引经：西二7，19
19
201.生根在作美地的基督里面：
20
21a.带着美地思想的保罗，在西二6~7指出，基督作为我们在其中一无所缺的美地，乃是丰富的土壤，我们“在祂里面已经生根，并正被建造”，好使我们从这土壤吸收元素而长大，基督自己就是丰富、肥沃的土壤。
21
22b. 作为植物，我们必须天天把祂丰富的滋养吸收到我们里面，作为我们长大的元素，作为幼嫩的跟该终日吸取基督这土壤的丰富，我们越吸收丰富，就越被基督所浸透，并且生机的被祂所顶替，这就是长大，以及在基督里被建造。
22
232.以神的增长而长大：
23
24a. 神乃是借着进到我们里面，叫我们生长，神越多加到我们里面，就越使我们生长，接在6~7之后，19节则说，当我们得了丰富的供应，并结合一起，就以神的增长而长大，基督身体的长大，在于我们里面神的增长。
24
25b.在二19，和合本翻作“因神大得长进”，但那里的主词是身体，身体得丰富的供应，当然是为着长大，所以恢复本翻作“以神的增长而长大”，神是完全、完整、完美的，不需要长大，但在我们里面神的生命需要长大，好带进召会的建造。
25
26应用：每天早晨，不该浪费时间在心思、情感、意志里，反之要更多花时间运用灵，在灵里爱慕主，赞美祂，献上感谢，自由的对祂说话，花足够的时间吸取主，说，“主耶稣，我爱你，我敬拜你，我尊崇你。主，我把自己献给你，我把心交给你，把今天每一件事都交给你”，而经历美地基督作我们的一切。
